While President Trump continues to keep a cap on specific comments regarding the multiple women who have accused Roy Moore of unwanted advances, he took to Twitter Thursday to comment on allegations made against current Senator Al Franken. Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken, 66, is accused of forcibly kissing and groping a woman named Leeann Tweeden during a 2006 USO tour of the Middle East. Trump tweeted, “The Al Frankenstien picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while she sleeps? .....” Then he tweeted, “And to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about sexual harassment and respect for women. Lesley Stahl tape?”Tweeden went public with her story on Thursday morning. In a statement, Franken apologized to Tweeden and his constituents while maintaining that he remembered the rehearsal differently. Tweeden said she accepted his apology.“Coming from the world of comedy, I’ve told and written a lot of jokes that I once thought were funny but later came to realize were just plain offensive,” Franken wrote.“I respect women. I don’t respect men who don’t,” Franken added. “And the fact that my own actions have given people a good reason to doubt that makes me feel ashamed.”Of the photo, Franken said: “I look at it now, and I feel disgusted with myself. It isn’t funny. It’s completely inappropriate. It’s obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture.”Franken was roundly condemned by his Democratic colleagues, who called his behavior inappropriate and unacceptable. His conduct was referred to the Senate Ethics Committee for further investigation.CNN and The Associated Press have contributed to this article
